If I remember correctly OS X saves the first App, which installs an
"Open With" handler for a file extension / mime type, as the default
handler. If you have multiple applications installed, you have to set
Wine as the default application, but there is nothing I could change in
the installer.

Basically all non portable applications on Windows, which ship
additional files, rely on the current working directory being set
correctly. However, many applications need to be installed into the
wineprefix first and their installer is often self contained, so it
should work for the usual case that you downloaded some installer file.
As an Improvement I could also set the working directory to the
directory containing the file, which should be correct in 95% of the
cases, even if you double click on a file inside of a wineprefix.
